The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 627: The Scariest Voldemort

"Business? What business?"

Slughorn was still emotional, "Link, you are one of the committee members of Hogwarts, you should take care of Snape more!"

Link looked at Slughorn coldly and said:

"You should mention those things appropriately, and you shouldn't go into it so deeply, especially in front of Harry. You are blaming Professor Snape's wounds. Professor Snape is a strong person. If he doesn't follow It's strange that you turned your face."

"So what? You know how bad his reputation is among the students! I'm helping him!"

Slughorn danced and said, "And no matter what, I'm also his professor. If it wasn't for me, would he have made such great achievements in Potions? Can he come back to Hogwarts as a professor? Alright! Now that he has succeeded, he can ignore me as a teacher. I guess he doesn't even know how to write the words "respect the teacher and respect the way" now?

I am very angry about today's incident!

Snape treated me that way and made me embarrassing in public.

Let me tell you clearly! He must apologize, or I'm afraid I won't be able to do the job of Potions professor! "

Link looked at Slughorn quietly until the other party finished speaking in one breath, then said coldly:

"So... you're threatening me?"

There was no expression on Link's face, and there was no emotion in his words, as cold as a piece of ice.

But it was such an attitude that made Slughorn feel a bad taste.

He waved his hands in embarrassment and said:

"No, that's not what I mean. Link, I want to say, since you are the ones who invited me back to Hogwarts, you should give me some guarantees of dignity, like today..."

"Recognize yourself!"

Link interrupted Slughorn roughly, "This is one of the three mottos engraved in the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. For a long time in the past, I have silently recited it to myself several times a day. This sentence. And today, I will also give this sentence to you. "

Link paused, reached out and patted Slughorn's face that had turned from flushed with anger to pale, "You don't really think that you are a character with the right to choose, do you? To be more polite to you, I called you a professor, and went to your safe house to invite you. But if we are not so polite, why don't you come?"

Slughorn was pale, and his legs were trembling.

At this moment, Link has completely shed the student's outer skin, and what is displayed in front of him now is like a ferocious and calm super beast. A simple swallow can eat him up to the bone .

It was also until this time that Slughorn was too naive to think about everything.

In the past, he was blindfolded by interests.

I only saw the aura on Link and the prestige that various titles could bring him.

But it overlooked that Link, who can sit in that position, will be especially easy to get along with?

In terms of the power he controls alone, Link is even stronger than Voldemort in the past!

Facing such a strong man,

I actually lost my sense of awe!

This is his biggest mistake!

"So...do you recognize yourself now?"

Link's voice sounded again.

Compared to before, there was a little more smile in this time's words.

Slughorn shuddered suddenly when he heard the words, and quickly bowed his head and said:

"Of course! Of course!"

"That would be great." Link said with a smile, "In that case, tell me about Tom Riddle, how much do you know about him? You used to be his professor, he Also joined the slug club, didn't you?"

"Tom...Tom Riddle?"

Slughorn's expression changed dramatically.

This is Voldemort's original name!

Link wanted to use him to obtain information on dealing with Voldemort?

Slughorn stared at Link in a daze, his face extremely ugly.

He really didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.

Neither Link nor Voldemort were existences that he could offend. No matter which one of them moved their fingers, they could easily crush him to death!

"Link, to be honest, I'm too old, which makes my memory of him very blurred. I can't even remember such a person." Slughorn forced a smile Said, "So I'm sorry Link, I'm afraid I can't help you much."

As if afraid that Link would not believe it, Slughorn added:

"I can assure you that what I've said is the truth. If you don't believe me, you can test me with Legilimency or Veritaserum!"

"Come on, Professor Slughorn. I am well aware that you also have a certain degree of attainment in Occlumency, and you may even have sealed up all Voldemort-related memories long ago. Therefore, generally Neither Legilimency nor Veritaserum have much effect on you."

Link shook his head and said, "But you have to be clear about one thing. That is, your coming to teach at Hogwarts is not the result of our request, and we don't need to pay any other remuneration for this matter.

While you enjoy the honor of being my professor and having me join the slug club, you also have to pay a certain price.

This is the most basic exchange of benefits, and you are an expert in this regard.

So, let’s talk about it, this is the only value you can create for me. "

Hearing what Link said, Slughorn's mouth curled into a wry smile.

Link's understanding of him can be said to have exceeded all his previous expectations.

At this moment, he feels as if he is a transparent person, and everything he hides is invisible under Link's sight.

He shook his head, and finally said helplessly:

"You have to tell me what you want to know, right? That way I can talk in a direction."

"Just talk about your opinion of him, and then expand on this topic. I think as long as you start, there will be a lot of things you want to talk about later. After all, although Voldemort is bad, he can be regarded as A legend, isn't it?"

While talking, Link helped Slughorn to sit on the sofa beside him, and brought him a glass of red wine.

As if to suppress the fear in his heart, Slughorn drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then said in a trembling voice:

"It was a nightmare, a nightmare that has tormented me for decades. Link, can you understand my feelings? I taught a demon, and it used all the methods I taught him to continue to do evil in the world, and became this The greatest evil in the world!"

"what you mean?"

"Horcrux! There is knowledge about Horcruxes!" Slughorn said anxiously, "Since you have expelled him from the country, you should also be aware of the fact that he has Horcruxes? As long as there is With the Horcrux here, it is impossible for him to be killed!"

Link nodded and said:

"We have known this for a long time. Not only that, as of now, we have destroyed four Horcruxes belonging to Voldemort. However, judging from the fact that he has not been eliminated, he should have more Horcruxes."

Slughorn gasped.

The eyes looking at Link brightened at first, but then quickly dimmed.

"I really didn't expect you to go this far. What's even more surprising is that Voldemort was so crazy that he created so many Horcruxes for himself!" Slughorn grabbed his few hair He said painfully, "It's all my fault, if it wasn't for me, he wouldn't be able to make it big!"

Hearing this, Link curled his lips helplessly.

It seemed to him that Slughorn's arrogance had probably flared up again.

What is it said that Voldemort was so powerful that he was taught by him, so that he ran amok.

is it possible?

How could an earthworm teach a poisonous snake to prey on it?

Voldemort's power is clearly mastered by himself through other channels.

Even the so-called Horcrux manufacturing knowledge, didn't he also read it in "Secrets of Sophisticated Black Magic"?

According to Link's memory of the original book, Voldemort did ask Slughorn about Horcruxes when he was a student.

But that was just a tentative inquiry made by Voldemort to confirm his conjecture.

How did it come into Slughorn's mouth, that he taught Voldemort?

Slughorn, really will give himself a hat.

While Link was thinking wildly, Slughorn seemed to have recovered from his self-blame. He grabbed Link's arm as hard as if he was grasping hope, and said slowly:

"However, you have done a good job! No matter how strong Voldemort is, he is only one person, and the number of his horcruxes must not reach double digits! Now that you have eliminated four horcruxes, what will happen next? As long as you make up your mind to do Horcruxes, you will surely succeed! At that time, you will be the saviors of the entire magic world!"

Link pulled his arm away calmly:

"Of course we'll do it, it's our job."

Slughorn didn't care whether Link's actions were impolite, he licked his lips and said:

"Another point is that your luck is really very good. The current Voldemort is actually far from his most terrifying form! The process of constantly splitting his soul to create Horcruxes has actually destroyed his spirit and consciousness. Now he has no It was so strong before!"

"We already know this. Voldemort has now become a madman, relying on violent suppression to rule his subordinates..."

"No! You don't know anything at all!"

Slughorn interrupted, "Voldemort's most terrifying form is his appearance at Hogwarts! Although the power he possessed at that time was not as terrifying as it is now, he still had love for him in his heart." You may not understand how powerful the power of love is, but as a current member of the Ministry of Magic, you should also know that there is a room that is always locked in the Department of Mysteries, and the power of 'love' is placed in it ?”

"Indeed, that room does exist. But that room is a closed room of the highest level. The Ministry of Magic does not have a key to open it. The closed system it has is also very powerful. It can be said that unless the entire Department of Mysteries is destroyed , otherwise there is no way to break in."

"That's right! This is the most correct decision made by the sages of the Ministry of Magic! Because the power of love is really terrifying! It may not have much destructive power in the direct sense, but it can control And gather people's hearts and desires, and use them to transform into terrifying energy that we can't understand at all for the time being!

This energy can be used to save, but it can also destroy the whole world!

Voldemort possessed such a power when he was a student. Although he was not aware of the horror of this power like most ordinary people at the time, he did possess it.

The most important point is that the love he grasps and pursues is pure and deformed, it can be said to be the love used to destroy and destroy in the true sense!

In the face of this power of love, any magic in the world is just rubbish! "

Slughorn became inexplicably excited, and he said excitedly to Link, "That's why I was so scared when I heard that Tom Riddle turned into Voldemort and returned. I know it too well. Voldemort's talent, sooner or later he will be able to discover the power of love, and use that deformed love to destroy the world! But with more and more news about Voldemort, I unexpectedly discovered a surprise!

This returned Tom, or Voldemort.

Although he is still as powerful, as good at disguising and deceiving people, he looks so perfect.

But he lost the most important thing, that is - love!

Can you imagine my mood at that time?

Voldemort, he lost the ability to love!

While I don't understand how this happened, it's certainly great news for us!

Listen, Link!

Voldemort without love is not terrible, all he has is dry magic power, which means that you only need to stack your combat power.

Voldemort will never be as terrifying as Grindelwald, love, even with the biggest difference between the two! "

Slughorn talked on and on, even excited to the point of talking to himself.

As he spoke, Link frowned deeply.

Because the "love" described by Slughorn reminded Link of the "Professor Lilo" that Beauxbaton met.

When the other party exerted his strange power, it seemed that he called him—wish!

The manifestation of that power almost perfectly fits Slughorn's description.

Scary, weird, great, deformed, almost undecipherable...

This seems to be the power of 'love'.

Does that mean that the Voldemort they are facing now is the Voldemort who has found his 'love'.

Gujian\u003c/span\u003e In a real sense, the devil in the strongest state!

...

The next day, Link walked out of the classroom alone.

Perhaps these things had been buried in Slughorn for far too long.

In short, as Link said at the beginning, after the start, Slughorn could no longer stop the car.

For a whole night, Slughorn kept drinking and talking about his fear of Voldemort.

In the later stage, Link didn't even want to hear it anymore, but Slughorn forced Link to say it.

Link was left speechless.

However, such a long talk is not all fruitless.

At least during this all-night conversation, Slughorn told almost every detail of Voldemort he could remember.

This also gave Link a clearer and more specific impression of Voldemort.

To sum it up, this is actually another old-fashioned story of an unfortunate childhood that led to a child who was supposed to be innocent and lively and even talented to grow into a perverted murderer.

Even in Link's view, the reason why Voldemort was so crazy that he lost the power of love is completely reasonable.

Because his unhappiness is quite pure.

Also an orphan, Harry at least has the love of Sirius, Hagrid, and Lupine.

Even the aunt's family, whom he had always criticized, were not that harsh on Harry.

Link has heard Harry complain more than once that his aunt's family hates magic and can even be said to fear magic.

During the period when he just received the Hogwarts admission letter, his aunt's family even moved to a deserted and remote island in order to avoid the weird owl letters in the wizarding world.

This is not the reaction a normal person should have at all.

Normal people should drive Harry out of the house the first time they encounter those weird events.

After all, those letters were all directed at Harry, as long as they stayed away from Harry, they would naturally get rid of the weird magic.

But none of Harry's aunt's family said anything about leaving Harry behind during the entire escape.

Even when the giant Hagrid broke into their safe house on the island, Harry's uncle was still trying to stop Hagrid from taking Harry away.

This is enough to show that Harry's aunt's family loves Harry.

Although this love is so small compared to Dudley, isn't this what it should be?

After all, Dudley was their biological son, and Harry was just a poor relative who lived in their house for more than ten years.

So Harry can say that he has been surrounded by love since he was a child.

What about Voldemort?

This guy is the ultimate unlucky guy.

His father doesn't love him.

Because his father was bewitched by his mother with a love potion.

His mother didn't love him either.

This can be seen from her dystocia and death after being abandoned.

Although her magic power is so fragile that it is unbearable to mention, she is a witch after all, and a witch can die in childbirth, which is simply the greatest joke in the world.

So it can be guessed that Voldemort's mother completely gave up hope of life by herself.

He also gave up his children.

As a mother, she only loves her husband, not her children.

Not to mention the orphanage.

Although Link has never been there, he has a certain understanding of it.

Orphans are completely cumbersome for orphanages, or livestock that can make money.

The chaos of orphanage management in London over the past few decades is simply outrageous.

It is the most basic operation to find some orphans and put them in the orphanage to cheat subsidies or let the orphans go out to sell pornography.

What's more, people and organs will even be bought and sold!

Being in such an extreme environment, it is only natural for Voldemort to be crazy.

Rather, it is a strange thing that he still has love in his heart after entering Hogwarts.

According to Link's estimate, this love is likely to be his nostalgia for his mother.

At that time, he still had beautiful fantasies about his mother.

So after gaining power, he couldn't wait to kill the Gunter family who expelled his mother.

This is his revenge for his mother!

And the reason why he lost the ability to love in the later period was as Slughorn said.

Probably also because he fully realized that his mother might not love him at all.

This made him completely desperate.

"well--"

Link sighed deeply.

The yolk-shaped sun was slowly rising from the edge of the earth, and the soft sunlight pierced through the morning mist and hit him, but he couldn't feel any warmth at all.

Yes, only cold.

Winter is coming.

"Slughorn told you everything?"

Dumbledore's voice suddenly came from the shadows.

"Ah, yes."

Link responded lightly, turned his head to look, and saw that the expression on Dumbledore's face was extremely complicated, like guilt and regret.

"This is a mistake in my education." Dumbledore came out of the shadows, stood beside Link and watched the sunrise together and said, "If I could observe more carefully at that time, if I could pay more attention to Tom A little more love, and maybe he wouldn't have turned into Voldemort."

Link glanced at Dumbledore expressionlessly.

Of course he knew what Dumbledore was trying to say.

Voldemort was also Dumbledore's student, and he was the best one.

If you have to say it, Dumbledore is the teacher who taught Voldemort how to use power.

Of course, what really made Dumbledore so guilty was probably the way he educated Voldemort.

At that time, Dumbledore was not the headmaster, and the old headmaster's teaching ideas were biased towards the Black model.

Naturally, Dumbledore was also affected. The current situation where Dumbledore whispered and joked with you when he made a mistake, or even helped to excuse him, absolutely did not exist in Dumbledore at the time.

If you make a mistake, you will be beaten!

Especially for Voldemort.

Dumbledore is the real father who sees his son's unfilial piety and pulls out seven wolves!

That is to say, the psychological shadow left by Voldemort's rise to Dumbledore was too great. Otherwise, Dumbledore would change the way of education and make students live so comfortably?

Go dreaming!

Is it just that Dumbledore is really wrong?

"Heh, it doesn't look like it's your fault."

Link chuckled and expressed his opinion.

This answer seemed to be beyond Dumbledore's expectations.

He turned his head in astonishment, but saw that Link had looked at Chuyang again and continued:

"You think that the reason why Voldemort is like this is because you mixed too much violence in his previous education. This kind of education that uses violence to force him to submit makes him feel that when he has enough After the violence of a man, can he also force others to submit?"

Dumbledore nodded silently.

Link's words really spoke to his heart, that's what he thought.

"But I don't think it's your fault."

Link shook his head and continued, "Some brats just lack tough education. You didn't give him special and targeted corporal punishment, and the responsibility for this can't be blamed on you anyway."

Link really doesn't look down on Voldemort at all.

Although his life experience is poor, he has shown a kind of evil since he was a child.

In Slughorn's description, Voldemort was already using his Parseltongue talent to steal and retaliate against all kinds of bad behaviors that hurt others when he was in the orphanage.

After coming to Hogwarts, things like planting and framing within the limits of the rules have been done a lot.

In Link's view, this kind of brat deserves a beating.

Even Dumbledore and the old headmaster of Hogwarts at the time were extra merciful in not expelling him.

"What you said makes sense, and I did think so for a while." Dumbledore sighed, "But no matter what, I have to admit. If I could have discovered Tom's special place in time, then Using more targeted guidance and education for him may change him."

Hearing this, Link smiled.

If, if, if...

All these words represent are meaningless complaints.

Because there is no regret medicine in this world, naturally all ifs are impossible to realize.

What's more, Link doesn't think that Voldemort can be corrected by Dumbledore's gentle guidance and education for Harry.

You must know that Voldemort, who lived in that extreme environment since he was a child, had a crooked view of his whole person.

Dumbledore wanted to straighten it out on his own, that would be beyond his capabilities.

"Slughorn told me that the most terrifying state of Voldemort is when he still has 'love'. Now, Voldemort has obviously controlled this kind of power." Link restrained his smile and said, "What do you think we should do now?"

"What should I do? How could you ask such a strange question?"

Dumbledore didn't care about Link's blunt topic change, and asked with a smile, "He, Tom Riddle, has the power of love and desire, don't we?"

Link narrowed his eyes slightly and said:

"you mean……"

"What I want to say is that each of us has love and power in our hearts, and there are very few who don't." Dumbledore put his hand on Link's heart, "So don't worry, at best he has mastered the use of 'love and power'. A method of 'wish' power, and the most monstrous kind."

"However, aren't we inferior to him? At least he knows how to use it, and we can't even perceive that power."

"Don't worry, child, you will feel it. You just lack an opportunity. When the time is right, the power of love and desire will naturally be used by you in your own way. This is an inevitable thing, and it won't take long. This Opportunities will arise."

A bright smile suddenly appeared on Dumbledore's face, "As for now, what you should be most worried about is the mediation meeting between the International Federation of Wizards and the French Ministry of Magic. Here comes the news that you, the actual controller of the Ministry of Magic of the Kingdom of China, are invited to attend the meeting by name!"
